sour VS Doomsday-Engine

You even have the option to use C/C++ with SDL2/OpenGL and compile for the web using Emscripten. For a 2d example, I made this recently https://arguscypher.itch.io/dungeon-sons (uses OpenGL and has networked multiplayer). Same with 3D, WASM is good enough that most games wont suffer. Now you wont get access to the latest OpenGL features but then again do you really need those? If you want to see a 3D fps game ( Cube ) in the browser take a look at this https://kripken.github.io/misc-js-benchmarks/banana/index.html (this is old, like before 2012) (newer version https://github.com/cfoust/sour )

Hello HN,

Cube 2: Sauerbraten is an open-source arena FPS with sophisticated map editing tools that had its peak popularity around 2010. There were some nascent efforts to port it to the web that I have taken over in the past couple of years, and it's finally ready to share with you!

Sour is a continuation of Sauerbraten that aims to modernize the game and bring it to a broader audience by making the full game experience available to web browsers on desktops and mobile devices. The eventual goal is to be a web-based and open-source alternative to Roblox et al, which allow players to create their own maps and game modes.

We're in need of contributors with experience in any of the following: C++, WebGL2, Emscripten, React, TypeScript, and Go. Check out our repo here: https://github.com/cfoust/sour

The go-to granddaddy of making it more modern is probably GZDoom. For some reason I don't remember, I didn't get on with it as well for "real" doom, only the big mods. (https://www.zdoom.org) My personal favorite that adds just enough graphical/audio enhancements without fundamentally altering the game, is Doomsday Engine (https://dengine.net/)

Doomsday Engine is the closest thing you will get to that .
